Chapter 94: Navy Assembly! The Battle of God Valley Is Coming
Clear skies for thousands of miles.
Above a somewhat remote and isolated island.
Lot and Golden Lion Shiki both stared intently at each other.
Both unconsciously gripped their sword hilts tightly at the same moment.
On a pirate ship nearby.
Rocks and the many executives watched this scene.
The excited pirates had already begun discussing the upcoming spar.
"Who do you think will end up with the advantage?"
"No need to ask? It's definitely Lord Golden Lion. His swordsmanship is extraordinary!"
"I also think it's Lord Golden Lion… With his swordsmanship combined with his Devil Fruit ability, he'll definitely become an insurmountable wall for the Azure Emperor!"
Although in their eyes Lot's talent could be called the strongest.
When it came to current strength,
At this stage, Golden Lion Shiki should still be stronger by a notch.
After all, no matter how great Lot's talent was, he had only been developing for a little over a year. How could he possibly catch up to the world-famous great pirate Shiki?
You have to know that Golden Lion Shiki's strength was extraordinary!
In the past six months or so,
His swordsmanship had also progressed to an almost unbelievable level!
Unlike the many who believed Lot would lose,
Whitebeard laughed heartily while drinking wine.
"Gulalala! This is really a matchup that's hard to predict!"
Among those on the ship who understood Shiki,
When it came to strength,
Golden Lion Shiki was undoubtedly one of the strongest pirates, second only to Rocks.
Although Whitebeard believed he himself was slightly superior,
That old lion's ability combined with his swordsmanship was definitely quite troublesome to deal with!
The nearby executives also looked grave.
Although they thought Golden Lion Shiki would win, this battle definitely wouldn't end easily.
"Golden Lion, I still remember the promise from back then."
"If I win this duel, don't keep pestering me afterward."
Lot gripped his dual-sword hilts and smiled playfully.
To be honest, he actually had a pretty good relationship with Golden Lion Shiki. Although it wasn't at the level of Whitebeard, the other party had given him quite a bit of help.
But one thing was separate from another.
Even if Golden Lion was his friend, that didn't mean he had to join the other's pirate crew.
Lot's goal had never been something like vice-captain.
He hadn't even planned to join Whitebeard's ship. Rather than following these powerhouses from the original story, it was better to carve out a new era himself.
Golden Lion snorted coldly.
"You arrogant brat, talk after you manage to defeat me."
He likewise drew the famous swords Sakura Jū and K枯木 from his waist. Although they were a grade below Lot's En'ō and Shodai Kitetsu,
They were still undoubtedly rare famous blades in the world!
The two dual-sword swordsmen quietly stared at their opponent. Their Conqueror's Haki surged and clashed without anger, almost instantly colliding.
"Zzzzt——!"
The moment the Conqueror's Haki violently collided, black lightning flashed through the air.
Amid the swaying trees, two figures could be seen assuming their stances. Whether Lot or Golden Lion, both were fully focused at this moment.
At this instant.
In Lot's eyes, the pupils turned blood-red.
Black double magatama swirled within his pupils, as if slowing down the surrounding time.
"Shua!" The cold dual blades were suddenly drawn. In an instant, howling blade light mixed with his stepping figure.
The fierce battle erupted!
....
Navy Headquarters.
Although the previous duel between Roger and Lot was kept secret,
The intelligence agencies of the World Government and Navy Headquarters were no pushovers.
It didn't take long before they learned the corresponding information and quickly reported the currently known details to Navy Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong.
At the same time.
Numerous Navy forces from the four seas and even New World branches had arrived at Navy Headquarters.
To prepare for the great battle at God Valley, a full dozens of large thousand-man-class warships, along with top experts from all over the world, had gathered.
They were docked at the Marineford piers, ready to set sail at any moment.
Not only that.
Even the Navy Headquarters' three Admirals had all been recalled.
A scene that no one would have dared imagine in the past was now truly happening in every corner of Marineford.
Anyone who noticed these unusual movements
Couldn't help but suck in a cold breath from the bottom of their hearts.
Their instincts told them that something major was about to happen!
A mobilization of this massive scale by Navy Headquarters and the World Government had never appeared even once in the entire history of Navy Headquarters!
"Report to the Fleet Admiral! 80,000 elite soldiers have already assembled!"
"In addition, special units from the CP organization are also ready. The three Admirals are currently resting and can move out at any time on your command."
Inside the office,
Sengoku, wearing his justice coat, reported in a deep voice.
Steel Bone Kong nodded slightly.
"At this stage, this is basically the full force of Navy Headquarters. As for CP0's special secret units, we have no command authority, so let them handle it themselves."
"We also need to consider provisions."
"Rocks definitely knows about our movements. He won't come easily."
From the very beginning, the Navy hadn't expected to hide such a large-scale operation from Rocks.
After all, the other party was one of the overlords of the New World.
Although their intelligence capabilities were definitely inferior to the Navy's,
An operation of this scale was impossible to completely conceal.
Sengoku nodded slightly and continued,
"Currently, the location of the Rocks Pirates is under constant surveillance by monitoring ships."
"But in just a few days we've already lost more than a dozen surveillance ships. If this continues, we'll soon lose track of Rocks' position."
"That is definitely not good news for us."
If they lost track of the Rocks Pirates' location and the other side headed straight for God Valley,
The ones who would end up passive would be the Navy!
Steel Bone Kong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It seems Rocks is quite anxious too. Continue sending surveillance ships to monitor."
"Even if they're all destroyed, it doesn't matter. The World Government will reimburse them later. In the next few days, we must keep track of Rocks' position no matter what."
"Also, have Admirals Night Leopard and White Fox prepare."
"There will be matters that require their attention."
Leaving Admirals Night Leopard and White Fox behind was an order from the World Government. Although Steel Bone Kong didn't know their exact intentions,
He had no intention of disobeying his superiors.
Sengoku also took a deep breath. An operation of this scale was a first for Navy Headquarters.
He hadn't expected that Rocks to be fearsome to this degree.
But next,
It would be the Navy's turn!
